long distance- Grayson Dolan

Summary: You and Grayson have been in a long distance relationship ever since the beginning of quarantine, and you could now finally reunite again. 

The corona virus had hit America hard, as you may assume. They went into complete shutdown, meaning everyone was forced to quarantine. And it was hard enough as it is for Grayson and his brother to stay locked in the house for such a long period of time, considering how active and mobile they are. But it was even harder for your boyfriend when you lived over 11,000 miles away, and were stuck there, unable to visit. 

You and Grayson had been dating since September of last year when you came to California for a modeling job in February, like you did a lot throughout the year. You met him at a local LA party, which he only seemed to be at in order to accompany his friends, and the two of you immediately hit it off. You found him attractive and charming, and he found you gorgeous and intriguing. 

The only downfall though, was the fact that you lived in New Zealand while Grayson lived in California, obviously making it difficult for the two of you to communicate.

it wasn’t too bad at the beginning of your relationship, probably because there wasn’t a worldwide pandemic and you were in LA almost every other week for jobs or promotions for the companies you worked for. But when all of the travel bans were set in motion, it just so happened to be the day before you were supposed to be flying back to the states to celebrate you and Grayson’s 6 month anniversary. 

It sucked to say the least, not being able to see your boyfriend for such a long period of them, because facetiming and calling were definitely not the same as being in physical contact with someone.

Meanwhile though, Grayson was seeming to be driving himself up the walls of him and Ethan’s house. He had been going on runs every morning, sometimes even facetiming you while he did, if you were up early enough, and even began helping Ethan on some of his projects around the house. 

It was now the end of August, and the states had been on lockdown for a little over five months, and it was safe to say that you and Grayson were reading for it all to be over. 

So when the travel bans were lifted, you knew that it would be a perfect opportunity to travel back to California to see your boyfriend for your upcoming one year anniversary. So, you called Ethan and booked the plane ticket, before calling Grayson to tell him. 

When you had told Gray that you would finally be returning to him, he was no less than ecstatic, even shedding a few tears. You knew that he had been longing to hug and kiss you since the moment you left LA the last time, but seeming crying over the phone as you told him about your plans to visit made it even more surreal for you- it was clear how much your boyfriend missed you. 

After almost a week and a half, the day had finally come, you were now boarding the plane to come to LA as Grayson sent a continuous amount of texts, wishing you a good flight.

When you arrive thirteen hours later in LAX, you quickly go to baggage claim to collect your things before heading towards the outdoor entrance, where Grayson was supposed to be waiting for you, alongside Ethan, who was also very excited to see you. 

As you walked out of the large glass doors, you quickly noticed Ethan’s white Tesla that he was in love with. You also noticed Kristina in the passenger seat as you further approached the car. 

But before you could make any other observations, you saw the back door of the Tesla open upward and Grayson coming into view. He was wearing a gray sweatshirt and black sweatpants, and you quickly took notice of how much more fit his physique looked, even through the loose fitted clothing. 

He hopped out of the car before quickly lunging towards you, you followed suit, quickly approaching him and letting go of your suitcase as you reached touching distance. 

He opened his arms, causing your face to fall quickly into his chase as you wrapped your arms around his neck, so going around your waist as he leaned down to your height. 

“Hi baby.” Grayson finally smiles as he pulls away a little bit to look at you. 

“Hi gray.” You respond, a smile quickly appearing on your face as he grabs your suitcase and guides you towards the Tesla, his arm slung tightly around your shoulder. 

“Y/N!” You look to the side of you to see Ethan getting out of the car, meeting you near the rear end as Grayson put your bags in the trunk. “It’s so good to see you!” 

You quickly hugged Ethan, before falling back into Grayson’s embrace. “Good to see you too, E.”

“God, it’s so weird to look at you.” Your boyfriend ran his hands over his face as he looked at you from where you were sitting on his lap in the backseat of the car, Ethan driving. “I-I just can’t believe that you’re here.” 

You laughed before throwing your arms in the air, “Well, you better believe, baby!” He began laughing along with you, snaking his arm around your waist and pulling your back against his chest, “Cause I’m gonna be here a while!” 

“Maybe next we can go to New Zealand.” He suggests, making you smile at the fact that he would ever want to see your hometown and where you grew up. 

“Of course we can, bub. Just me and you, on the nice warm beach.” 

“Sounds amazing.” He closes his eyes, leaning his head on your shoulder as if he’s trying to imagine it for himself. “God, I’m so happy you're here.” He kisses your cheek. 

“Me too, Gray.”
